Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.

 Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: … Young Astronomers

Relevant SC Standards: …

1.E.3A.1 Use, analyze, and interpret data from observations to describe and predict seasonal

Description: This app lesson will develop first grade science students’ knowledge on
patterns of the Sun and Moon and its effect on the planet.
Instructional Objective:

Students will be able to identify Sun’s effect on the plant.

Identify the Moon and Sun patterns.

Identify changes in the Moon and Sun patterns over time.

Students will gain clear knowledge on the solar system.

Step 2 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will engage in current stories and
videos about life, space and the earth. Teachers can have their students read an article
before being taught the topic on the solar system. Teachers may give a student a topic
on planets to research and them search for articles in the app. Students can create their
own videos and articles in the app.
